Europe is shuddering under the threat of its worst storm in years. Hurricane-force winds lash mainland Europe, leaving five people dead or missing.
Travel and transport are disrupted, with thousands forced to flee their homes. So far, Britain seems to be bearing the brunt, with 15000 homes evacuated. The Thames Barrier, designed to protect London from flooding, will remain shut on Thursday night. Across Britain, more than 100-thousand homes are without power. Prime Minister David Cameron has held two emergency meetings to discuss the situation. Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden are on alert. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled across northern Europe while rail and ferry services are shut down.

A powerful car bomb rocked a police headquarters in a Nile Delta city north of Cairo, leaving at least 14 people dead and over 100 injured.
The blast reportedly occurred at around one A.M. local time at the Dakahlya security headquarters in the Nile Delta province of Mansour. It caused the collapse of parts of the five-floor building. Most of the casualties are police officers. The head of security for Dakahlia was also wounded in the bombing, and two of his aides were killed. The impact of the explosion was felt around 20 kilometers away and shattered windows of nearby buildings. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

Terrorist attacks in Iraq leave nearly fifty people dead.
Several car bombs targeted Shia districts of the Iraqi capital Baghdad and the southern city of Hilla. The blasts come a day after over twenty people were killed in various bomb explosions in the capital. Last month, more than one thousand people lost their lives in a surge of violence. The bloodshed is largely blamed on al-Qaeda-linked militants. The government has launched an operation against the militants in the western province of Anbar.
